You will be exposed to new ideas and different exhibitions that will develop your mind.

​

For Over 50 Years Dr. S. J. Pickens and Hugh Pickens collected paintings and sculptures by American, Native American, Oklahoman, African American, and African Artists. Their legacy is to create a Museum of Art on the Great Plains of Oklahoma to highlight the work of these artists.

Our ever-growing institution is dedicated to expanding our visitors’ knowledge. Ultimately, we are in the business of education, and we believe in providing learning experiences for children and educational opportunities for adults. With our temporary exhibitions and events, as well as our permanent collections, we are sure that everyone will leave our Museum with new knowledge.
